@ayn_rose Got it. I was kind of confused, thinking you meant that if there were not equal outcomes it was racist. Totally agree our focus should always be equality of opportunity. What you do with that opportunity is on you.
I had the same problem in college! I didn't grow up reading Shakespeare and Chaucer and it was so confusing. I had to work so much harder to understand. The language, metaphors, and similes were unfamiliar. Get rid of Shakespear in college. #NotFair
@PaulChapman1954 @EricaRzasa @AshaRangappa_ So change the example. People who smoke, people who drink, people who don't go to the doctor with a small lump and wait until it is a large one. All these people cost society money for their decisions. Do we tax them?
@StillHereBugger@AshaRangappa_ Actually, nothing could be farther from the truth. Libertarians feel great personal societal obligations. What they are firmly against is the government forcing people into action.
So do we add a tax for the additional cost of those who smoke? An additional tax for those who are overweight? Type 2 diabetes? How about a tax for those who drink alcohol? Huge cost to me, a non-drinker, to cover their medical care down the road.
Whether I received the 'Rona vaccine or not is HIPAA-protected information. It is against the law to force me to share with a non-medical provider. #HIPAA#HIPAAViolation
@Shinedown1911 No, @Shinedown1911, he is right! Just look at how it worked for alcohol during prohibition. No one was drinking. Another example is drug use. The only reason Seattle has a drug problem is because weed is legal in CA. If CA made it illegal, there would be no heroin usage in WA.
@MRSpinkston85 I would be open to increasing legal immigration with a mandatory requirement for E-Verify and complete the wall. Oh, and add in an amnesty in place requirement.
